Scenery In Green Flames

:

:

Cold thunder a single fish slaps heaven

:

To cross the strait something vermillion stirs

:

Soughing out of my lung a blue butterfly’s wings

:

The day honey overflows in bee hives its heaviness

:

The shadow merely the migrant birds above the salt lake

:

The light turned off oh the heaviness of mercury

:

When the snow falls the snow falls quietly nude

:

The night the snow accumulates I become a deep-sea fish

:

In the evening wind both horse and woman are in the wind

:

Night the moon falls I live in the shadow of leaves

:

Night the rain smolders I remain closed with petals

:

Camellias fall oh this lukewarm midday fire

:

Day of pollen the birds do not have breasts I see

:

Chickens mate and the sun’s letting mud drip

:

Swaying geese come scenery in green flames

:

I turn into a snake a drop of water taking a walk

:

A butterfly glistening glistening and I darken

:

Away in the yellow wind they strip a house duck naked

:

Right in the middle of autumn wind a blue shell hole

:

Torn clouds here on earth are 15-centimeter howitzers

:

Autumn deep clanking our canteens we eat

:

Dead ahead clouds glittering forced to cross a river

:

There getting wet rain-red is a hand grenade

:

Night bandage smudges with blood geese fly honking

:

The trench’s belly blood-red in undulating rains

:

In the blue sky I hammer a nail that makes a piercing sound

:

Deep in my ears I hide a single red machine gun

:

Gluing themselves to my retina are mud and muck

:

Deep in my chest a gray gun carriage overturns

:

I close my eyes and in the void a black horse prances
